Sir: The government has rightly
decided to challenge the terrorists who have killed more than 50,000 innocent
civilians and soldiers. However, it is vitally necessary to tackle those who
indulge in economic terrorism, which is deadlier than the traditional form of
terrorism. Economic terrorists are those who cause immense damage to the state
by indulging in smuggling, mis-declaration of goods to cheat the government and
similar evil practices. Their profits from such illegal activities are used to
finance those terrorists who kill our valiant soldiers. The government should
run a well-orchestrated campaign to educate the people of the country to
refrain from buying smuggled items and thus save innocent lives. The army chief
is also requested to extend operation Zarb-e-Azb against these economic
terrorists and root them out completely.
